The people of Yongfeng, Jiangxi Province, had been gifted with warriors for four years. All past generations of Haizhou, Xuanzhou, Jinan, and Qingzhou were open-minded and loved military strategies. They paid particular attention to the war at the borders and repeatedly requested for the border defense to be strengthened.
Xie E and Zhao Gou often talked about Zhang Shuye, thus, as soon as Zhao Gou took charge of the Privy Council, he immediately appointed Zhang Shuye as the Head of the Privy Council.
The one stationed outside the He Jian was one of Zhang Shuye's distant nephew, Zhang He. He was young and rare, had great courage, and was proficient in all eighteen great martial arts.
When they heard about the war in the north of Zhang Shuye, they even led hundreds of warriors to go to the border to fight the enemy.
Zhang Shuye was overjoyed, and immediately deployed ten thousand of his elite soldiers to a location ten miles northeast of the He Jian Stronghold, forming a corner of the city.
The moment the news of Zhang Shuye's strict and meticulous management of the troops arrived, he immediately mobilized the hundred thousand elite soldiers of his subordinate, the southern road of the Deng Prefecture. With the He Jian Fortress as the core, they divided into three lines of defense and constructed a fortification system, day and night strictly on guard.
Wushu had gone south for nearly four months, but it was difficult for him to take even half a step into the south.
Of course, Wushu did not pour all his energy into the He Jian.
Although Wushu was not anxious to directly and forcefully attack He Jian, and did not take any offensive measures, to break through He Jian, one must first pay a heavy price. This was what gave Wushu the most headache.
Once they reached a stalemate, it would be detrimental to the Gold Soldiers that came from afar to fight.
Considering things from a long-term perspective, besides Wushu's most elite troops, he had also brought the Hei Long Tribe, which was known for their bravery and battle prowess, with the leader Hei Long personally leading the troops to assist him.
Wushu gathered the core strength of his Hei Long Tribe into his own army, and ordered Hei Long to lead a group of newbie soldiers who had no combat experience at all.
Hei Long disapproved, and in the short span of a few months, he had forcefully raised his thirty thousand men under his command into a powerful force that Wushu could only look at from the side.
And under Ha Michi's planning, with Hei Long personally taking action, they carried out a large scale "military exercise".
A group of new recruits had actually eaten up Vice General Liu Cheng's eight hundred regular troops almost without paying any price, and even disguised themselves as Liu Cheng's subordinates, and successfully broke into Zhang He's camp!
Wushu led three thousand elite riders to charge in from the two sides!
After all, Zhang He was still young and inexperienced, and had been confused by the Golden Soldier's negative attitude for a long time. He had never thought that Wushu would personally come to kill him.
Zhang He had not slept yet, upon hearing the disturbance in the camp, he anxiously used his spear and regrouped his troops, going forward to welcome them.
In the fiery light, they saw a general emerging from the enemy ranks. He had a golden helmet and golden armor, and he brandished his Xuanhua Great Ax like a wheel. He was unstoppable, unstoppable, and unstoppable!
Zhang He was enraged, "Geezer, stop being so arrogant, look at my spear!"
What Zhang He had used was a spear that was eight feet tall. It was soft but strong, like a spirit serpent, it wrapped around Wushu's axe.
Wushu was not on guard against any such person in the Song Army.
The two of them were full of energy, the great battle had a draw of over 20. Wushu was secretly surprised, he shook his axe, and then pushed his horse on the head, "Come!"
"This one is the one under the account of Zhang Shuye, Deng Prefecture's Capital Manager!"
His voice was majestic and majestic.
Wushu didn't intend to fight any further. With a loud whistle, he led the three thousand Steel Cavalry and Hei Long's hundreds of warriors to quickly retreat.
Zhang He was furious, he spurred his horse forward and chased.
The generals by the side anxiously tried to dissuade him, "Little General, do not give chase. Wushu is cunning.
Zhang He was the only one who stopped this. He cleaned up the broken army and actually lost more than two thousand people.
Helpless, Zhang He could only set up another stronghold to strengthen his guard and inform Zhang Shuye who was in the city.
And at this time, Zhang Shuye was extremely annoyed by the imperial court documents, he had originally come personally to provide support for Zhao Huan with a hundred thousand Imperial Army.
Zhao Huan's vanguard troops had already reached the He Jian and were about to depart for the front line, while Zhao Huan's army in the center had already passed the Xiang Prefecture.
Zhang Shuye fiercely threw the document onto the table and sighed.
Dong Fanglang, one of his aides, was puzzled. "It would be a great thing to send reinforcements to the Central Region. They would be of great help to the war ahead, but why are you so worried?"
< p > "Hey!"
Zhang Shuye sighed: "How can I not hear it, 'A general of the monarch generation has his achievements in the monarch, and his achievements in official affairs'. Currently, the Son of Heaven has already purposely given up the throne to the crown prince. Now that the crown prince has personally come with a large army, even if he has a million strong masters, how could they possibly stop Wushu? "
Dong Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Your excellency, so you were actually worried about this."
Zhang Shuye was startled, "Could it be that mister has a good plan?"
Dong Jiu smiled and said, "Your excellency is loyal and works hard for the country for the rest of your life. With his talent as an adult, why was he still a mere steward of the Southern Way of the Deng Prefecture? If it were him, he would have already been conferred the title of marquis! "
Zhang Shuye was sorrowful, but at this moment, he was not the least bit moved, "If mister has a good plan, please come over quickly."
Dong Xuan replied, "There are only two choices available for you to choose from."
Now that the Crown Prince was personally leading the battle, everything would be under control. If he didn't let things go as they wished, victory or defeat would come to naught. "If you win, it will be to the credit of the Lord. If you lose, the Lord will spare no effort to protect you, and the Lord will protect you as well.
Zhang Shuye shook his head, "How can one not seek victory?"
"Otherwise, what would happen if the Crown Prince didn't think he was going to be able to succeed?"
Dong Jing said: "In other words, when the crown prince came to the He Jian, the impact on the battle situation wasn't because of the He Jian, but it was because of the burden of the He Jian. If Wushu were to retreat, everyone would be happy, I am afraid that Wushu will find out about our weak point, and attack with all his might, straight towards the Crown Prince. At that time, if he misses something, this thousand years of sin will be all on Master! Sir, please think twice! "
Zhang Shuye said dejectedly, "Then what's the second choice?"
Dong Chi enthusiastically said: "The second reason is that if our troop were to gather all our strength and gamble everything we have, before the arrival of the crown prince, we will heavily injure Wushu, cripple his main forces, and render him powerless to defend …"
"Then you only need to assist the crown prince in cleaning up the remaining bandits?"
Zhang Shuye's eyes lit up, but he immediately fell into deep thought again. Zhang Shuye was well aware that the hundred thousand men that he had under his command were all of the hardworking type.
Compared to Wushu's fifty thousand elite riders, not only did Wushu not have the advantage in numbers, the difference in combat strength between the two of them was too big.
Before Dong Jing could reply, the school sent over Zhang He's documents. Zhang He reported everything that had happened at the Fallen Dawn Ridge to Zhang Shuye in detail.
When Zhang Shuye saw the difference between the number of injuries on both sides, he sighed.
The golden soldiers had dispatched less than four thousand soldiers, yet they had taken the lives of more than two thousand Song Army soldiers, and had even caused hundreds of soldiers to become disabled. What was even more terrifying was the price they had paid, which was not even two hundred soldiers!
Dong Jing took over the letter and read it carefully. He thought for a while and said, "If you don't think so, then this contribution is on the Duskfall Ridge!"
